Pros

The co-workers I met there.

Cons

This has been the most rigid company I have ever worked for. We are still in a Pandemic. If you are a single parent, expect to be punished for that. If daycare/schools close due to outbreaks, CarMax will not work with you and will give you points. They also pick and choose who they allow to work from home because of favoritism. I’m not allowed to work from home because I have kids but others are in the office. This has caused me to lose my place because I couldn’t work. Do you think they care? No! They stress empathy for our customers but show none to employees. This is a joke of a company. Managers also hinder your potential to move to a different department or get a promotion. BEWARE!

Pros

The perks of working at CarMax are quite extensive. Associates are offered an aggressive 401k program, Stock Purchasing Plan, in store discounts on sales and service, access to the CarMax Wholesale system, excellent healthcare, plenty of PTO, and at my location we are given as much OT as we want. My coworkers are generally good people, that I enjoy being able to work along side day in and day out. Management is very understanding in regards to calling out sick family emergencies, and schedule requests.

Cons

Despite doing the work of 5 people, and very politely asking for a raise management will not give me more than my 3% annual raise which is the single biggest let down. The bonus change of 2025 being labeled as "exciting" was straight corporate gaslighting unlike anything I've ever seen. Since the start of 2026, as of this review being written we have lost 7 associates largely due to pay, and I am soon to join those associates. Management from the store level up to corporate needs to understand that to retain their top performers they need to be compensated like a top performer. Some members of management are cliquey and moody which is very frustrating to deal with. Quality of Management varies wildly from store to store as well
